This is a great site also, has both Latin and English translations. I believe it is about $3/month to access.

www.breviary.net/
It is a nice site that I often refer to - however, two caveats:
  • This is the Breviary of 1911 - not the modern Liturgy of the Hours, nor the breviary of 1962 that is still approved for use according to Summorum Pontificum.
    -The Confraternity of Sts. Peter and Paul that runs the site is fairly extreme “Traditionalist” - they “hold abhorrent” liturgical reforms that followed Vatican II as well as some of the ones before VII.
On the other hand - the site is designed such that you don’t actually have to donate to use it. You can Google search it and access all or most of the site that way.

Oh my bad, I thought it was 1962 I didn’t know it was 1911.

Interesting I am going to try that right now.

*Thank you for your query concerning the breviary or Liturgy of the Hours.

Unfortunately, it is hard to determine an accurate answer to your question. However, I believe that there will be no change to the texts of the Liturgy of the Hours in the near future. Let me explain. In October 2009 ICEL completed the majority of its work for the Conferences of Bishops on the Roman Missal texts and has been engaged in correspondence with the Conferences and the Holy See about future work. While many of the Conferences feel that the Liturgy of the Hours should be revised sooner than later that feeling does not seem to held in Rome where it is felt that that translation project needs “more reflection”. I would take that to mean that any new publication is at least five years away*
